It was the end of summer
and beginning of autumn 2002. Tibet's rainy season was just coming
to a close. The grass was withering and turning yellow, the Yarlung
Zangbo River was becoming more limpid, and the peaks near and afar
were wrapping themselves up again in crystal ice and snow. I, a photographer
for China.org.cn, traveled through Ngari, visited Mount Qomolangma,
trekked the sacred lakes and explored the historic sites of Tibet,
together with eight net-pals from other parts of China and the United
States. Traversing this vast land, we were able to enjoy to the full
the boundless earth and high open skies as well as the tranquility
of this serene natural environment. One after another, wonderful scenes
astonished me with their beauty as I busied myself with the shutter
button.
